In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there are a lot of different challenges that players will need to complete for their weapons in order to earn a golden skin for them. These usually require getting a certain number of kills or killing enemies in specific ways. These tasks can be incredibly difficult to complete, but players will need to do them in order to earn that coveted skin and show off their abilities.
One of the most difficult tasks that players will need to complete is the longshot challenge. A longshot is when a player kills an enemy from a distance of at least 30 yards away, which can be difficult to gauge properly in-game. To make this even more difficult, players will need to make 100 of them in order to complete the challenge. This guide will show players the best ways to complete the longshot challenge in Modern Warfare.
Modern Warfare: How to Get Longshot Kills
The very first thing that players will want to do in order to get more longshot kills is to turn on Hardcore Mode. This mode will boost bullet damage and lower the health of all players, which makes it much easier to kill enemies as easily as possible. Then players should also try to go to maps that allow for them to post up in windows or in sniping positions where they can survey the map. This will allow for the most opportunities to get these kills.
When it comes to weapon attachments, players should focus on things that prioritize accuracy and distance. The object here is to enable the weapon to be accurate at longer ranges, while still ensuring that it can cause a decent amount of damage from far away. The further away that the player can shoot their enemy from, the more likely it will be counted as a longshot kill. Players should do their best to aim for the head to bring their enemies down in one shot.
According to The Gamer, a great map to try and rack up as many longshots as possible is Shoot House. Players can go to the long middle section of the map, and post up on either side and snipe any player that moves out into the open. There is even the possibility of shooting other snipers at the opposite end of the map. Players should be careful though. Since they are playing in Hardcore Mode, their enemies will be able to bring them down incredibly quickly.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare can be played on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
